US Dollar Price Chart – USD Weekly (DXY)
Chart Prepared by Michael Boutros, Sr. Technical Strategist; DXY on TradingView
The US Dollar Index is approaching a key support hurdle just lower at 102.55/99- a region defined by the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement of the yearly range, the 2016 high-close, and the January low-week close. Looking for a reaction into this zone- risk for an exhaustion low with the October decline vulnerable while above. Initial resistance at the yearly open / 52-week moving average at 103.50/60 – ultimately a breach above 105.67 is needed to mark uptrend resumption. Review my latest US Dollar Technical Forecast for a closer look at these levels.
Gold Price Chart – XAU/USD Weekly
Chart Prepared by Michael Boutros, Sr. Technical Strategist; XAU/USD on TradingView
We’ve narrowed the focus to this key resistance hurdle in gold at 2016/23 – a region defined by record high-week close, and the 78.6% retracement of the May decline. Ultimately, a breach / weekly close above the Record High-Close at 2035 would be needed to fuel another run at the highs (2075/81). Monthly-open support at 1983 with medium-term bullish invalidation now raised to the 52-week moving average / 38.2% retracement of the October rally at 1928/38.
Silver Price Chart – XAG/USD Weekly
Chart Prepared by Michael Boutros, Sr. Technical Strategist; Silver on TradingView
The silver breakout has extended into confluent resistance at 24.88/96- a region defined by the 100% extension of the October advance and the 78.6% retracement of the May decline (note that the 2021 trendline converges on this threshold over the next few weeks). Looking for a reaction up here with a breach / close above needed to keep the immediate advance viable. Initial support rests at 23.95-24.05 with medium-term bullish invalidation now raised to the 52-week moving average, currently near ~23.41.
